MAP BioPharma

An open access platform managed by the French Ministry of Health has been made available online in March 2017 to facilitate access to the different reporting systems of adverse events.

Those include: adverse effects of medical products (such as drugs or medical devices), medical procedures, and products of daily life (such as food supplements, cosmetics or cleaning agents). Through the new platform and depending on the type of adverse events, health professionals and patients will be able to directly report such events on the platform, be directed towards pre-existing electronic reporting systems or be informed about specific procedures for events which can only be notified by specialised health professionals.
